Default Where to find rubber bulkhead fittings?

I don't know what they are called but its basically a rubber grommet that a pipe fits through used on curved surfaces eg. skimmers etc. Oh, preferably on the Island (In or around Victoria). Also are they reliable? Or is there a better method which is easily obtainable and inexpensive? Any tips appreciated.

Never used one, but I've seen them in use. A quick google suggests that they are available at:

What size are you looking for? I think I still have some 3/4" ones kicking around somewhere from my skimmer building days...but I have to double check.
